Are they anything similar to the ones on Wicked Tuna? Just watched an episode on netflix. Those are some crazy fish.
I will probably never need the speed but it would be fun to know I can outrun a tsunami wave out the Golden Gate like he did in San Andreas  Im going to leave the diesel for now. Maybe a Suzuki 250 for Xmas..

Jason, are you on any of the spearfishing forums? Would love to hear how you do in Anacapa. Just got back from SBI. We shot a few yellows, but all the paddies were dry and the mass of fish seemed to have vacated... at least for the moment. (not to derail, sorry)
Tworotor, this project looks awesome. Can't wait to follow the build.

Original 15 year old tank... Leave it or get a new one? Doesn't look damaged anywhere but I will inspect the underside for wear.

I'd say keep unless it has a known issue. They are pretty solid. I had one I didn't use for my 7m

Does it smell like heavy diesel fuel? No visible fuel in bilge? Leave it. You may put outboards on later. Save that task for later

That looks like a pretty good sized tank for that boat.

Couldn't get the trim cylinder cap off and didn't feel like paying $1000 for a new pair. Solution? Twin Honda 150s.
Just kidding, only one will go on there. The pair were cheap on CL and I missed seeing a silver OB out my kitchen window after selling my srmn.

Lol already done! Theres a 6m searider that its going on.
So I finally hit the water with the 630 this morning. The diesel isn't too bad. No rpm or speedo but it seemed to top out in the mid to high 20's. Thats with fuel that is probably moldy, a banged up prop and and a floppy outdrive since the trim cylinders are full of air.

Yeah theres a shop in FL. They quoted 1800 for a custom flotation bracket with a platform. Its not going to follow the bottom line of the hull like the Zodiac bracket though.
Theres a chance I might sell the 630 as-is. Maybe someone will enjoy it with the diesel. I had my eyes on that 7.4 searider. Maybe even put these 150s on that.
